Questions to Ask Before Hiring Any Local Service Company
A neutral question list Long Island customers can use with any company—whether you found them through a referral connection or another path.
Good hiring conversations are specific. These questions work whether you met a company through I Got A Guy LI or another introduction.
Ask: What is included in the written scope? What could change the price? Who will be on site? What is the expected start window? How are change orders handled?
Ask how they prefer to communicate and what they need from you (clear access, decisions on finish selections, pets secured).
For building or HOA settings, ask what documentation they typically provide. Exchange of insurance documents—when required—is between you and the company.
